How to use the software without USB dongle with Donglify account token

Using a token allows you to share access to your account without exposing your email address and password. Through the use of a secure digital token, a user can log into a Donglify account and obtain access to the software’s functionality. They do not have access to the Donglify account itself and therefore have no details concerning the account’s owner. When a token is deleted, the associated user is immediately logged out of the Donglify account.

Use the following procedure to create a token.

1. Sign in to your online account on the Donglify website.
2. Open the Tokens tab and click on the Create Token button.
3. Select a name for the token and click Create.
4. You will see the newly created token in the app’s list of available tokens.
5. Copy the token and send it to a remote user using email, SMS, or other means.

Click the red “X” button next to the token’s creation date to delete it.

1. Remote users need to follow these steps to use the token to access the available dongle.
2. Download and install Donglify on their computer.
3. Launch the program, enter the token, and log into the account.
4. More than one computer can use the same token simultaneously.
